Sustainable Tourism in Sicily: Organic Surprises and Cultural Delights
“To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.” -Goethe We’ve always loved Sicily.

The Last Flight by Cydney Marshall
Flight attendant and author Cydney Marshall has written a gripping tale of a commercial airline that vanishes with all persons on board unaccounted for. Unlike the infinitesimal percentages of this happening in real life when you fly, this is a fictionalized account although it certainly pulls details from real life incidents over the years. Author Marshall cleverly creates a name for a generic airline, calling it AmerAsia; the whereabouts of … [Read more...]
